I am so happy to see this !

You'd probably also be happy to know that I'm planning to fit some bigger tires on it and, if need be, raise the car to fit those tires

photowhoring a bit but I went out to cruise with some homies this weekend. Star of the show is the E34 M5 touring swap though...

That touring......

The weather was super nice yesterday so I spent the afternoon cleaning the garage in prep for working on my shitboxes.

I've been driving the E30 around when it hasn't been snowing even with the headgasket leak. It doesn't really leak that much oil so it hasn't been too bad. But earlier this week I noticed I got a bad clunking when accelerating near the top of first gear. Turns out my diff bushing is completely torn... so I have to fix that now. With the garage cleaned up and the warmer weather, I think I'm gonna put the car back on jack stands so I can finally get around to fixing it completely. This means I'll also be able to get A/C and power steering back in. I'll probably also go through the suspension because I think the shocks are pretty shot.

I got a Corteco diff bushing... buy it

So... some interesting news...

Decided to actually start working on my car today.

Got the car jacked up.



And I found what I expected... my diff bushing is COMPLETELY shot...



And then... with a bit more inspection I found some more interesting stuff...





So yeah... now I need another subframe. Hell yeah.

Luckily I have a friend with one so I'm good on sourcing one. But, this time I'm gonna make sure this is the last subframe I put in it so it's gonna get all the reinforcements and shit.

I will donate a brand new diff mount if you get to work
